Hi Bob,
I don't often comment on the list, been lurking for a long time though.
My wife and I run a small company and went through a similar issue some
months ago. In our case we accepted credit card orders by phone and
processed them on a separate terminal we've used for years and also took
website orders using PayPal. We eventually stopped accepting credit card
phone orders simply because the fixed fees were exorbitant. I see others
have commented on PayPal's fees, they seem fairly reasonable to me and there
is no fixed fee. Basically we're paying 30 cents plus 2.9% of the order
total. Roughly it's about 3% of most orders which is similar, I believe, to
what much bigger merchants pay MC and Visa.
My .02c
Tony.

Our credit card processing company of some 15 years has been slowing driving
up the fixed fees. I've just received a letter informing me of my mandatory
enrollment in a "security validation program" for yet another fixed fee. My
gross sales simply won't support such burdens.
The fixed fees are but part of the $risk$. Their mandated 'service' might
well find that my 'network'
(one computer sitting behind two firewalls) is vulnerable and needs more
$upgrading$ as well.
I'm sorry to have to announce that effective immediately, the AEC website
catalog orders will have to be paid through PayPal.
I've been thinking about getting a PayPal friendly shopping cart program . .
. the problem is the assumption that everything in the catalog is in stock
for shipment now
. . . or that I'm not out of town. I don't want to ding folks for cash
until their order is ready to ship. Easy with the old system. But for the
time being, we'll issue PP invoices as the orders come together.
All CC orders pending will be shipped by the end of this month under the old
system.
All remittance for new orders will have to flow through PayPal.
Sorry for the inconveniences folks.
Bob . . .

Just fyi, you don't need a PayPal account to pay for something, you just use
your credit card - although PP tries to get you to use a PP account you
don't have to.

And, I might as well add my 2 cents here...now there is no fee
charged to either the sender or the recipient if the payment is
within the US and you pay from either a Paypal balance or
directly from your bank account. There is a fee charged for use
of credit or debit cards or international payments.
Quoting Paypal: "*New! Free* for sender and recipient in the US
when you send using your bank account or PayPal balance."

Hi Bob,
paypal is *HIGHLY* biased towards the consumer vs the seller. Please google
the horror stories. There are many examples of people/companies that
basically had to suspend their businesses for weeks or months while they
lined up alternatives to paypal (after paypal unilaterally made
unacceptable changes).
If it isn't too rude. How large of a monthly fixed charge is too much ?
There are payment/ecommerce sites geared towards lower volume businesses
(the catch is you pay a bigger percentage of the sale to them).
Thanks,
Michael

This is much worse than SPAM!
It is a phishing attack, just as the original poster observed.
It is very dangerous! And is some email clients (like Outlook), even a
seemingly safe operation like forwarding an email like this can be
dangerous!
The safest thing is to not click on anything in the email and is just delete
it. (then empty your recycle bin)

Subject: | Dorne & Margolin DM C63-1 antenna |
I have a DM C63-1 antenna that I need to relocate on my kitfox. It is inside the
fuselage (done by another builder) and it will not transmit since it is basically
in a cage of tubing. My fuselage has been modified with the factory mounting
plates removed. I have an idea about making a clamping type plate that I
can slip under the fabric and mount to the tubes but the top of the fuselage has
a "Spline" and is not flat so the antenna would be off to one side. I am thinking
about a belly mount and was curious to know if anyone has ever bent the
DM antennas? I know they make a bent one (DM C63-2) but I am wondering if I could
just bend the one I have I have to meet the clearance needed for a belly
mount.

The pictures I see for this antenna appear to show
a painted antenna rod. Is this a solid metal rod
or is it some kind of conductor stuck inside a fiberglas
sheath?

Subject: | Transponder antenna |
Assuming you have a metal plane mount it to the skin on the bottom of the
fuselage. Remember as with all antennae cleanliness counts! Lock washers do
help make a good connection to the skin but it is always better to have the
area directly under the antenna, on both sides shiny clean before
installing.

Dennis,
Did you use thermocouple wire for the extension?
Thermocouples generate a potential depending upon the temperature
difference
from one end to the other. You must use proper procedure when extending
these wires.

Both CHT and EGT. They are thermocouple wire. I used the exact same wire as the
equipment came with. I silver soldered the new lead extensions as shown by Bob.
I do have a multimeter that will test thermocouple wire however I have not
used that feature as of yet. The one test I have not attempted is the check of
the indication without the engine running. My studies show that they should indicate
ambient temperature.

Bending the antenna has very little effect on performance.
The "business section" of a vertical antenna is in the
bottom 1/3rd or so, bending the upper 2/3rds has the effect
of electrically lengthening or lowering it's resonant frequency
but even that effect is minimal.

Subject: | Re: Can Xfeed damage smaller battery. |
Bob, thank you for your expert advice.
My sole battery bus (which runs my one Plasma 11 electronic ignition...magneto
on other side) sources its power from the smaller battery ie. it's on the aux
bus. I set things up this way so that the voltage drop on the main bus during
starting would not affect the electronic igniton and perhaps cause a damaging
engine backfire (which has been known to happen).
You seem to be suggesting that it is possible that the small 8AH battery could
be overheated during normal operations by the 20A B&C alternator if the battery
is heavily discharged. Is that correct. In normal cruise operations I am only
drawing about 5 amps on the aux bus.
I guess my concern is that if the small battery overheats it could fail internally
and therefore I would lose my electronic ignition. Am I over thinking this.
